DunhamBush Panther fan coil units have been installed in the new Square Kilometre Array Headquarters at Jodrell Bank in Cheshire.


With 135 staff from around the world, the new HQ will be home to the inter-governmental organisation set up to build, manage and remotely monitor the world’s largest telescope, located at sites in South Africa and Western Australia. Dunham-Bush’s Panther range horizontal chassis, waterside control units incorporate EC motors for optimal controllability and energy efficiency and have inlet and discharge plenums with sound attenuators to meet the low level sound requirements of the building. Panther fan coil units combine the latest design and manufacturing technology, providing the ideal solution to meeting the thermal and noise criteria specified at the site. All models have multiple access panels for easy maintenance.

Heating and cooling systems were designed by Mott MacDonald’s Manchester office and installed by Chris Bowker Ltd of Morecambe. Careful planning with emphasis on safe site handling, resulted in a fast and efficient installation. The SKA will be capable of observing across a wide frequency range. It will probe the early universe, test physical laws, such as the theory of gravity, search for alien life and over time, provide a transformational view of our universe.


Hundreds of satellite dishes and antennae on two continents will combine to form a huge radio telescope with a collecting area approaching one million square metres, hence the name ‘The Square Kilometre Array’. Website: www.skatelescope.org


The bid to make Jodrell Bank the HQ of the SKA was backed by the UK government through the Science and Technology Facilities Council. The bid was supported by the universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Manchester and Cheshire East Council. The £16.5m project has been funded by the UK Government’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy via the STFC, the


School reres its Aylesbury float valve aer 24 years The original Aylesbury K-Type


delayed-action mechanical float valve had been in daily use since the 1990s, meeting all the water needs of the school’s staff and 200+ children.


Spare parts were no longer readily available so manufacturers, Keraflo, recommended the modern version of the Aylesbury K-Type valve.


uThe new Aylesbury ‘K’ valve installed at St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School.


The water tank valve was originally installed when the London Borough of Hillingdon upgraded water tanks throughout the Borough’s schools in 1994. Many schools have long since been refurbished or replaced, but the valve at St Andrew’s Church of England Primary School has been working every day to ensure the water demands at the site are met. The school’s Site Manager, Gerard McGuire, told Keraflo that he had experienced very little trouble with the valve.


He said: “It’s been going for 24 years, which is not bad. You can’t argue with that as it’s been working constantly over that time.” A small leak caused by wear and tear could have led to possible flooding in the offices and school rooms sited adjacent to the water tank, so the decision was taken to install a brand new Aylesbury ‘K’ valve. Neil Weston, Keraflo’s Technical Sales Manager, said: “The only component that had worn at St Andrew’s School has long been replaced by one of a different material that will not wear in the same way. We can be confident that our latest Aylesbury valve models will continue to deliver durability and longevity. In this day and age of a ‘disposable society’ it’s still good to see a British manufacturer building products to last the life-cycle of a building.”

Luceco has recently supplied LED lighng for a general refurbishment at St Enodoc Golf Club, located on the north Cornish coast.


Luceco’s Celesal lighng at St Enodoc Golf Club


After fully refurbishing the hospitality areas within St Enodoc Golf Club’s club house, the changing areas and Pro Shop were next on the list. Celeste, an attractive circular LED luminaire from Luceco featuring a ‘corona’ backlight effect with a direct/indirect light distribution, was chosen for the ladies changing areas. The Celeste is ideal for many commercial and residential lighting applications offering up to 50,000 hours working life with no maintenance or re-lamping requirements. Celeste is available as standard output, digital dimming, microwave and emergency variants, including self-test. Celeste can be surface mounted as at St Enodoc Golf Club, wall mounted, or suspended using a 3 point 1.5-m suspension kit, creating an attractive “heavenly” pendant.


The backlit accent effect is available in red, yellow, green, and blue plus a choice of decorative bezel trims including white, brushed


chrome and steel finish. IP65 rated Atlas was also used in the shower and WC areas, providing an alternative to traditional 28 and 38-watt 2D compact fluorescent fittings.


Other luminaires installed in the Pro Shop included LuxPanel. Quick and easy to install and supplied with remote 'plug and play' drivers, high efficiency LuxPanels boast a market leading efficacy of 152 Llm/cW.


St Enodoc Golf Club overlooks the Camel Estuary and boasts stunning sea views. The club was ranked 99th in the World by Golf Digest and was recently quoted as being “a little piece of golfing heaven" – so it’s the ideal home for celestial LED lighting from Luceco!

Due to the age of Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate, changes to the fabric and infrastructure are inevitable, particularly when it comes to heating and water services. CambridgeHOK, a long-time Priva partner and installer, was invited to devise a system capable of controlling the school’s onsite sewage treatment systems.


“One major problem was that the school originally had multiple, smaller boiler houses that had to be individually monitored and maintained,” explains Duncan Grant, project lead at CambridgeHOK. The existing control systems were from different manufacturers and, over time, everything was replaced with Priva technology.


uAn interface with the Priva BMS system allows access by laptop remotely, which makes life far easier for the maintenance and estate sta.


Queen Ethelburga’s had installed efficient, dual-fuel boilers that run on gas and oil in the new ‘KEB boiler house’. CambridgeHOK designed and manufactured a control panel that incorporates Priva BMS controls to supervise and control the boiler house equipment, overseeing domestic hot water, water distribution,

“We developed bespoke software programs to link the existing systems to the new control panel,” says Mr Grant. “This means that all Priva systems on site can communicate effectively, passing on the heating and hot water demands of the campus to the new boiler house.”


The new central system represents a much easier solution for such a large site with many different heating demands.


An important part of the technology’s process control capability is protecting against legionella. The bacteria do not survive above 60°C, so the Priva technology runs the hot water tanks to 65°C and holds it for a prescribed time before distribution. The Priva equipment also monitors the levels in eight underground tanks that hold fuel for the boilers and red diesel for other on-site uses.
